In this question, we have the following reaction:

C2H6 -> C2H4 + H2

As we can see, we had two hydrogen atoms being decomposed from the original molecule, therefore we had 2 bonds being broken, and bond breaking is an endothermic process, because it requires energy in order to occur, therefore we have as the best answer, letter D, or 4th option
